Are we still a serious country?

I couldn’t help but notice something last week about the stories that were emphasized in the news – and about the way they were treated.

Let’s start with Donald Trump. He may not be your top choice for president. He may not be mine. But the reaction to what he said about illegal immigrants bringing crime into the United States has been one of the most absurd spectacles we’ve seen in some time. His fellow Republican candidates have either rushed to denounce his statement, or have been put on the defensive in explaining why they don’t want to.

We'd better just get used to stuff like this because we're not going to be able to convince the left. And they've invested so much into the Millennials that they can't think for themselves on this issue. What I'm saying is coming up with clever syllogisms and appealing to reason is not going to get our country back. People like Cain should focus on convincing conservatives that we CAN'T win at the ballot box.
